THE death by suicide at the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, Md, of Lieut..
John w. Danenhower, the gallant
young naval officer whose prominent
part in the disastrous Jeanette Arctic
expedition will be readily recalled, is
very sad indeed. He was evidently
laboring under mental alteration at
the time. He first showed evidence
of unsoundness of mind some ten years
ago when attached to vessel in the
Mediterranean station, and subse-
quently was placed in an asylum at
Washington City for a couple of
months, having been discovered wan
dering about in the woods in North
| Carolina. Lieut.. Danenhower was
among the first to volunteer upon the
Jeanette expedition in 1870, under
the command of the Inflated belong,
and was among those who succeeded
in landing in one of the whaleboats
upon the coast of the Lena delta in
Siberia after the Jeanette had been
crushed by the ice. After the rescue
of the survivors Lieut.. Danenhower re-
turned to the United States and was
placed upon waiting orders. In 1884
he was appointed assistant command
ant at the Naval Academy, Annapolis,
and was still holding that position.
Lieut.. Danenhower was about 81 years
of age, and native of Illinois.
